Remembering the Light Within: A Course in Soul-Centered Living By Mary R. Hulnick, Ph.D. and H. Ronald Hulnick, Ph.D. video and podcast are here…

admin — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 22:23:03 +0000

New Book Reminds Us that Love Is Our Essential Nature, Creating a Radical Shift in Perception of Our Life’s Purpose —
From Two Leading Experts in Spiritual Psychology
Are you ready for a radical shift in perception-one that may challenge and profoundly alter your idea of who you are and what your purpose is on this planet?
A compelling new book presents information, stories, and simple, yet life-changing practices designed to assist you in doing the work you came to earth to do: Waking up into the Awareness that you are the Presence of Love, and living your unique life of meaning, purpose and fulfillment from within that Awakened state.
Remembering the Light Within (Hay House, February 21, 2017) comes forth from Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick, Founding Faculty and Co-Directors of the University of Santa Monica, the Worldwide Center for the Study and Practice of Spiritual Psychology.
Their book affirms that we all suffer from greater or lesser degrees of “Spiritual amnesia.” We’ve forgotten who we are and why we’re here. The process of Remembering is an active process through which step-by-step you remove or dissolve the barriers within your consciousness that are all that prevent you from knowing your Soul’s nature-from experientially knowing that you are a Divine Being having a human experience. Can you imagine walking through this world in a consciousness that is Awake to Love? Wouldn’t that be Amazing Grace?
“We are thrilled to share these life-changing Soul-Centered Living-and-Remembering-Who-You-Are teachings with you at this important time in human history. For a deeper experience, we recommend reading one chapter at a time and then engaging with the Practices and Intention at the end of the chapter for a week or two before moving on to the next chapter, ” says Ron Hulnick.
Mary Hulnick adds, “The Practices are not things you do once or twice and then move on. They are empowering, transformational, and when utilized over time, become integrated as a Way of Being and a Way of Life. In your Soul, you are already Awake to the Love that you are. This book is intended as both inspiration and support for Awakening into that Awareness and living a Soul-Centered life – an inspired life of Love, meaning and purpose.”
Remembering the Light Within is filled with remedies for Spiritual amnesia including Spiritual Wisdom and practices supported by the time tested Principles of Spiritual Psychology.
A few of the essential concepts covered in this book include:
• Discovering what it means to enter the Spiritual Context
• Learning the difference between the ego and the Authentic Self
• Recognizing the distinction between Goal Line and Soul Line opportunities accelerating Spiritual Awakening through using the scientific method
• Reframing unresolved issues as Blessings
• Communing with the Divine through prayer
• Finding Freedom through Compassionate Self-Forgiveness
The authors also share from their own experience the power of the material to support readers in “Hitting a Spiritual Homerun” and learning how to use “Spiritual Crampons.” Radical, liberating shifts in perception await!
For more information about Remembering the Light Within and to receive free limited time bonus gifts with book purchase (only available through this website) please visit: www.RonandMaryHulnick.com For additional information about University of Santa Monica please visit: www.universityofSantaMonica.edu
Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick are pioneers and worldwide leaders in the field of Spiritual Psychology, as well as teachers and facilitators of Awakening in Consciousness. They are renowned educators, authors, and the Founding Faculty and Co-Directors of the University of Santa Monica (USM), where they have designed, developed, and facilitated educational programs for the past 35 years. Both are licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Mary is a licensed Clinical Psychologist. They are also the authors of Loyalty to Your Soul: The Heart of Spiritual Psychology, published by Hay House and available in 12 countries and 8 languages.
